Hot humid climates Nature:
High humidity combined with high temperature, as encountered in the tropical zones, provide an ideal incubation condition for fungi which can cause tremendous damage within a few weeks. Though not as severe in the temperate zones, humidity can still render improperly designed or unprotected equipment inoperative. Even properly designed equipment will encounter difficulties under some conditions.
